This is a YouTube video titled "Crazy scam I saw today in crypto" (created 2025-05-30) featuring a two-speaker commentary in which the presenters describe and warn about an AI-generated deepfake of Michael Saylor being used in a livestream to display a QR code and solicit Bitcoin with false promises of doubling payments. The speakers explain the scam flow, note the large live viewership, and urge viewers not to send crypto.

So this is quite the scam that I saw today. I go on YouTube, YouTube suggests this video. Hey, Michael Saylor's live at Bitcoin conference, 86,000 people watching.
Pretty cool. So I click into it. This is what it is. $2 billion in March 2025, an all-time high that signals a robust, thriving network poised for further growth.
So pretty normal, right? I was like, oh, that's kind of cool. Saylor speaking. And then this happened.
One-time chance to double your crypto holdings. Here's how it works. Scan the QR code. It's displayed on your screen now. Visit our—
So this whole thing is AI generated. That whole clip, it's like a full speech from Michael Saylor that's looping about every 15 minutes. It asks for people to send Bitcoin to this QR code, and they're going to send double back to you only while he's live speaking. 86,000 people live. I'm curious how many people actually sent Bitcoin and got scammed today. This is quite the scam. Look out for this. Please don't send your crypto to people.
